Approach to Life Coaching & How I Work

I am passionate about the power of NLP coaching. I know it works.
You will benefit from stepping outside your normal pattern, being helped to look at a situation through other perspectives.
You will work with someone who is trained to listen fully to what you want to express, and to help you quickly move ahead in your life.
Shift from the negative into the positive.
I want to see you feeling motivated and excited about life, sounding positive and optimistic about the potential you most definitely have.
This may be at any stage of life, from youth to retirement and beyond.

As a coach and counsellor, I offer essential neutrality. Unlike discussing your situation with a friend, colleague or family member, I have no vested interest in expressing an opinion, and in fact, refreshingly, I will not be expressing an opinion on your life.
After all, you are the expert on your life, and I am not. I will though, help you to find your own answers.
Friends and family, though trying to help, can often be the people that are actually limiting your change, and discussing your issues with them is not necessarily the answer when you are seeking a new perspective.
Coaching offers you the great experience of being able to truly say what you think and feel, and not feel judged by someone you are connected to already. You can express yourself in confidence. Each session builds up your future success, happiness and fulfilment, whether in your personal life or your career. It is not just 'a chat' but is a highly focused time, which will leave you keen to get going on your next goals!

I understand about the stresses and demands of modern life, for example combining the challenges of parenthood or caring with the demands of working life. Often, keeping up with it all can leave you putting yourself last, to the detriment of your own mental and physical health. For example, parenting teenagers can be a really challenging time. I believe that coaching will see you feeling able to put things into perspective, and to make time for your own development and well being, while enjoying the limited time you have with your children before the day comes that they leave you as adults. You deserve it!
I am trained in working by phone or face-to-face. Please contact me for fees, which depend on how you would prefer to be coached.

It is best to start with an email to me, then I will email or ring you as soon as possible to arrange your free thirty minute introductory session, to help you decide if you wish to move forward with me.

some feedback..
Here are some testimonials from clients...
* "Before I started with Geraldine, I felt deflated, afraid and most of all I felt stuck. Geraldine is easy to get along with, fun to work with, attentive and really listens. She tuned in to me as a person and tailor made methods which was helpful for me. She was supportive and picked me up when I felt incapable of achieving something, reinforcing that I can do it. I looked forward to every session. I finished with so many tools and tecnhiques to take forward with me for life. I now feel excited about the future and have the confidence to achieve all my goals. Within a short space of time I changed from deflated to energised. Thank you Geraldine for this life changing and transformative self development

.* "Geraldine helped me a great deal. She helped me to clarify my goals and clear blocks."

* "Many thanks for helping our daughter and giving her support when she was going through a stressful time. Your coaching helped her in regaining her confidence". VM

* "I had six coaching sessions on the phone. It was such an interesting and powerful experience, perhaps it was because of her attitude and voice tone, which are vital qualities as a professional life coach. Geraldine is so patient, supportive and hard working."
